SC-9: Geospatial Technology in the STEM Classroom:Â Integrating Place and Projects for Meaningful Learning Across Content Areas
Friday, April 1 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Sheraton Nashville Downtown, Suite 5A
Ticket Price: $28 advance; $33 on-site
Purchase tickets when you register online or on the Nashville Advance Registration Form.
We will introduce the potential for enhanced student engagement with the use of geospatial technologies (GT)—including GIS and GPS—in STEM classrooms. Participants will learn what GT, GIS, and GPS are and then be immersed in a place-based project using all three. We will collect, organize, input, and analyze data to discover relationships that become apparent when mapping the data is completed using a free online GIS platform. In the current educational context of preparing students to be college and career ready, the use of geospatial technologies in STEM and CTE classrooms is an opportunity not to be missed. Geospatial technologies in education can not only integrate content, but also provide meaningful and relevant experiences for students that challenge them to engage with and potentially solve real-world, community-based problems. Bring a laptop with an internet connection for accessing the free online GIS mapping platform.
